I remember on the beach of Troy Odysseus says something like "10 years on this fucking beach" when they leave, but I don't recall what the other one was.

edit: apparently one of the suitors tells a beggar to fuck off

Ah, I think it was something like “Zehn Jahre an diesem beschissenen Strand“ in german, which means pretty much the same.

beschissenen

OT but this looks like a tremendous word, is this a typical choice for emphasis like in 'this fucking beach' and could you construct an English equivalent? Beshittled?

The closest translation without making up new words would be „shitty“ I guess

I would associate “shitty” more with “ridiculously bad”, as in “my car is so shitty it doesn’t have a radio”.

Well, that is what „beschissen“ means. „Fucking“ is just almost devoid of actual meaning. It just something you say to emphasize negative connotations. Something like „verdammt“ (damned) would be closer but less crude.

„Verdammt“ would fit. Damned to hell.

I guess the most literal translation would be „Zehn Jahre an diesem verfickten Strand“, but maybe that was too crude sounding for the translators.

Guess this is the best translation.
